Prediction: 1-1

Sporting Kansas City

Following a 3-0 win over San Jose Earthquakes, Colorado Rapids suffered back-to-back defeats to the likes of Chicago Fire and Philadelphia Union. The Dick’s Sporting Goods Park outfit aim to return to winning ways in MLS and Sunday’s football match against Sporting KC could be the turning point for the hosts. Colorado Rapids have already suffered eight defeats in MLS this season and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from the Kansas City game. The Wizards, on the other hand, have been impressive at home ground this season, but their away record is anything but good. Sporting KC are on a four-game winless run on the road ahead of the trip to Denver, Colorado and it has to be noted that they failed to score in three of previous four away fixtures in MLS. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two teams are going to play out a draw on Sunday.

Highlighted Player (Tim Howard):

Tim Howard is considered one of the best goalkeepers in the history of USA national football team. Howard is well known for his spell with English giants Manchester United. The experienced shoot-stopper played for the Red Devils from 2003 to 2007 and he spent the 2006/2007 season on loan at Everton. At the end of the season he signed a permanent deal with the Goodison Park outfit and it has to be noted that he made no less than 354 league appearances for the Toffees. During the 2011/2012 Premier League campaign he scored his first and only goal for Everton as he found the net in a 2-1 loss to Bolton Wanderers. Thanks to the goal against Bolton he became the fourth goalkeeper to score a Premier League game. In 2016 he decided to return to USA, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal with Colorado Rapids. Howard conceded 20 goals in 19 appearances for the Rapids in the 2016 MLS season and he managed to keep eight clean sheets. It is well known that the USA goalkeeper won the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup with the Yanks.

Highlighted Team (Sporting Kansas City):

Sporting Kansas City have been competing in Major League Soccer since 1996 and they won their first MLS Cup trophy in 2000. The club faced Chicago Fire at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington in the play-offs final and Miklos Jon Molnar scored the winner for Bob Gansler’s team. 13 years later Sporting Kansas City met with Solt Lake in the title game and they were fortunate to defeat the Royals on penalties. The Wizards welcome their rivals at Children’s Mercy Park, but they used to play some games at Blue Valley Sports Complex, Julian Field, Hermann Stadium and Durwood Soccer Stadium in the past as well. Sporting Kansas City were founded in 1995 and the club’s original name was Kansas City Wiz. The Wizards wear navy blue shirts and dark blue shorts when playing at home, while the colour of their away kit is blue. Former Wigan Athletic man Roger Espinosa is regarded as one of the club’s most notable players and he has been playing for the Children’s Mercy Park outfit since 2015.
